Post your homemade cages?

hey guys I'm looking to get into a wider cage, i was just interested who has made there own? I'm thinking about giving it a whirl.

I am in the process of making one for my beardie. I am drawing it up in a CAD program and should be done with the rendering by Monday. I can post up a picture of that when its finished.

Here's a pic of one I just finished yesterday for my carpet.

The top 4 of the 4ft stack isn't 100% complete but you get the idea lol

Sadly I made the mistake of buying a 1.1 pair of w/c black tree monitors. Never truly acclimated and only survived about 6 months. It is 46" by 40" by 7' tall. I recently converted it to a grow operation for over wintering my chilli plants
Cost including the large glass was about 250$

Oh wow thats large, is there a certain way the wood needs to be treated?

I just built a 48"x18"x18" cage that came out really nice. I don't like linking to image hosting services so I can't post pictures here.

It used to be that forums would let you upload a few pictures.

This is the one my dad and I made 6 years back for a Bearded Dragon. Ended up selling it when we got out of Beardies. Wasn't the best but worked well and wasn't that expensive to make. Used some plans we found on the internet.

I just finished drawing up the frame in solid works. The frame will be built from 1in extruded aluminum and the siding will be 1/4in xpvc with glass sliding doors in the front. Here is a pic of the frame assembly...I will post the finished drawing as soon as its done.http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/03/08/aje5amuh.jpg
